Richmond senior QB Michael Strauss is a prospect to keep an eye on, according to ESPN's Todd McShay.

Strauss (6-foot-3, 210 pounds) ranks No. 2 on Richmond's career TD pass list. "He isn't likely to get drafted, but is an undrafted free-agent prospect who will get a shot in an NFL training camp," McShay wrote.

Wynn (6-foot-5, 266) was a three-year starter for the Spiders, finishing his career with 24 tackles for loss and 12.5 sacks. He made third-team all-conference in the CAA as a senior. Wynn showed moderate athleticism at the Combine, clocking 4.87 in the forty with a 34-inch vertical and 9-foot-5 broad jump. He might be best served bulking up and becoming a power end.

"Wish every DL prospect played as hard as Richmond's Kerry Wynn on tape. Would make the process a lot easier," Weidl tweeted. Wynn boasts a great frame at 6'5/270 pounds, but he isn't overly explosive for that size. Still, he presents some potential versatility as a defensive lineman that sees snaps inside and outside.

Taylor attended the East-West Shrine game and opened some eyes due to his size and closing ability. The former Georgia tech Yellow Jacket is an interesting NFL prospect. We aren't sure if he fits as a weakside linebacker, in the box safety, or a combination of the two.

Ravens beat writer Aaron Wilson notes "Taylor appears to be rising on draft boards." The massive safety had a good showing during East-West Shrine week and projects to an in the box role thanks to his reliability when closing and size to stick with tight ends. Taylor is a former transfer from Georgia Tech.

Richmond S Cooper Taylor an a forty time ranging from 4.45 seconds to 4.53 at the school's pro day.

The workout took place in poor weather conditions. Taylor had a great showing at the East-West Shrine game, and if these times stand, the large safety certainly did himself a favor and some added attention.
